In short, without enumerating roads, the
continent has a special railroad ear for its
ager; IA special car usually tor its general
superintendent: Oftentimes special car for
its chief engineer, and, III the eases of
most OF the trunk roads, IA special car for its
directors. These are built 10y Pullman.
They have plate glass windows from the roof
to the floor, and are divided into one or two
sleeping rooms, bath room IarlOr, dining
room ami kitchen. They rs long the
ordinary Pullman coach and cost from $50.
900 To SO, 900.
Fine special ears are one Of the extrava
gances of American railroads, and not a
small extravaganza either. OF the twenty
or thirty western and northwestern roads
each one has from $50, 600 To SloO 600 in
vested i'll palace ears for the qualification of
general officers To tickle the pride of their
women folks. Ii these cars lasted forever
there would be still from $1,000. 900 to
$1,000, 600 invested in palaces on wheels
which did the stockholders no earthly good,
which drew interest, but which cost
money to maintain. Take all the roads on
this continent and it would probably lie found
that there was s. 900, 600 ON wheels for the

Keeping Onions.

Every year, saws Joseph Harris in New

asking ~ for some method OF keeping
seed onions. In our own case We should
not try 10 keep them, unless II were few
bushels for family use. Sell them for
what you can get and pocket the loss.
There are many ways of keeping good,

is to keep them dry. But You must rec
ollect that even a ripe, dry onion contains
at least so per cent. Of water, and when y
large mass of them are kept together
they are liable TO ''sweat," and the

The following is the famous recipe used
by Mrs. Henry Clay for curing hams,
several hogsheads of which We're annually
sent to Boston, where, under the name of
ashland hams they commanded the
highest of prices, especially among the
wealthy Wings of that city.
For every ten hams of moderate size, she
took three and onehalf pounds of fine
salt, one pound of saltpetre and two
pounds of brown sugar, and after mixing
these thoroughly together, rubbed the
hams Herewith on either side. They We're
then packed in u tight box and placed in n
cool clubhouse for about three weeks, when
the haIns were taken out and put in "A
picking tub or hogshead and covered with
brine strong enough to swim an egg
After remaining in the pickle for about
three weeks they were taken out, thor
oughly rubbed with fresh salt and hung
up in "a well ventilated house for few
days To dry. Next they were transferred
To the smoke house where they were hung
up and smoked with green hickory or
walnut wood until they acquired the color
of bright mahogany. This accomplished,
each ham was sewed up in canvas, the
coverings whitewashed, and hung up to
dry, after which they We're whitewashed
again and packed away in hogsheads with
hickory ashes, until wanted either for
home use or sending To Boston.

Reclaiminy Waste Lands.

In his new report ON the work of the
geological survey, Professor Powell esti-
mates that there are 100, 900 square miles
Of coast lands i'll this country made value
less by foundations, which. by the use of
proper means, can probably be placed
among the richest agricultural lands i'll
this country. His department il now study
ing the swamp lands and marshes of the
Atlantic coast To ascertain the practical
bility of retaining them. In view of the
prospect that all the agricultural land now
available in the United States will be occu-
pied 10y 1879, the recent SURVEYS of waste
lands in the Mississippi valley along the
Atlantic coast, i'll western New York and
in other states, are of special importance.
The New York state survey reports that
il is perfectly feasible to turn the great
swamps in Niagara, Erie, Orleans and
Genesee counties, which are now waste
and malarial tracts, into healthful and
prosperous farms. Twenty five thousand
acres III the Oak Orchard basin alone, now
subject To constant overflow, can, accord
ing To our state survey, be thoroughly re-
claimed at "a moderate cost Waste tracts
like those which exist in the western part
of this state, in parts of the Mississippi
valley, and in the now worthless district
of 4, 600 square miles in North Carolina,
between the James river and Albemarle
sound, were drained in northern Europe

Yucca hlamento~a, though common in
the southern states, deserves to be planted
more generally for lawn characterization.
This beautiful plant, says as good author
ity as The American Garden, is quite hardy
and aiso of the easiest culture, growing in
almost any soil though slightly preferring
one of a sandy and porous nature. The
erect branching flower spike comes from
the heart of the plant and often grows to
more than mans height, bearing hundreds
of creamy white and very snowy flowers.
Some species of this genus, however, are
not hardy enough 10 withstand our north
ern winters out doors, and may be grown
in pots or tubs and kept dormant i'll a
frost proof cellar through the winter.

industry, and among the most fertile por-
tioI,. of the continent.
For fully 100 years the drainage of the
Jersey meadows, embracing some $4,000
acres, and now notorious for coarse hay,
big mosquitoes, miasma and occasionally
snipe. has been the pet project of scientific
men. OF hate years, Professor Cook, the
state geologist, has had plans prepared for
the carrying out of this scheme, and "a the
state has sanctioned the work, il is be
lieved measures will be taken early in the
spring to drain these meadow lands. This
work is urged as much for sanitary pur-
poses as for the agricultural value of the
imurpNemtTlt.

ROOT CUTTER.

At a is seen the hopper, which is made
without bottom. The slide contains a two
edged knife, and runs in grooves q, in the
top Of the frame close to the bottom of the
hopper. Near the bottom of the frame is
a roller, X, into which il fitted the handle,
III. This is connected with the slide by
the rod, X. The knife should be about
four inches wide and one-quarter inch
thick, be placed diagonally i'll the slide,
leaving half an inch space between it and

Chairman Hatch, of the house commit
tee ON agriculture, received from Conn
missioner Colmun IA reply To the rcsolu-
tion offered Il few days before by MIR.
Swinburne of New York, in which the com
missioner sets forth c9mprchenSiVely the
difficulties met in the attempt to- eNtirpate
or control the pleuro- pneumonia scourge
in the present state of the law and with
the machinery ut hand, AMI re-cnfnrces his
recommendations previously made for
more heroic methods. The commissioner
argues that the quarantine OF infected
cattle, even il il could be efficiently done,
does not prevent the spread of the con
tagion, except i'll isolated eases, and that
the losses from restrictions in trade
are greater than those caused by the dis
ease itself He has therefore recommended,
and does now recommend, the only
measure which will eXtirpate the plague
and prevent both the direct and indirect
losses, that wherever an infected herd is
disc covered all exposed animals lie Sluugh-
tered, the premises thoroughly disinfected,
and the owner comp, nSittcd for the loss to
which he Is subjected for the protection of
the public. He urges upon the committee
the necessity of legislation giving to the
department power To carry out the
measures required for eXtirpating pleuro-
pneumonia, untrammeled by state laws or
state authorities, if il is expected 10
promptly suppress this disease. vt present
he can only cooperate with the state
authorities in accordance with state legiS
lation in the matter. In some states there
are no laws ON the subject, and in all the
rest they are wholly inadequate for the
prompt eXtirpation of the plague There
il little doubt. however, that strong con
stitutional objections will be raised in con
greSs To such legislation a. the commits

There are many farmers who believe
